#47482 Directory entry modification from console fails with error "unknown error with naming attribute"
Closed: wontfix Opened by nkinder.

Reopen Issue

An entry with different case in in RDN (eg:
cn=FooBar,$suffix) and the attribute (cn:foobar) cannot be modified from DS
console. The modification fails with error "unknown error with naming
attribute"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add an entry with different case in RDN and attribute to LDAP (using ldapadd
command).

For eg:

cat DiffCase.ldif

dn: uid=LdapUser,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
uid: ldapuser
employeeNumber: 12345
givenName: foo
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetorgperson
sn: nil
cn: ldap user

  1. Open Directory Console, try to add or remove an attribute from the user
    entry.

Actual results: Console fails to save the modifications, and returns "unknown
error with naming attribute" error

Expected results: Success.

I cannot reproduce the problem.
Steps:
1. Added an entry by ldapadd
dn: uid=TUser,
uid: tuser
cn: test user

  1. On Console (Edit Entry window), replaced tuser with TUSER.
    ldapsearch returned:
    dn: uid=Tuser,
    uid: TUSER
    cn: test user

  2. On Console (Edit Entry window), replaced TUSER with tuser1
    ldapsearch returned:
    dn: uid=tuser1,
    uid: tuser1
    cn: test user

  3. On Console (Edit Entry window), removed tuser1 from User ID box
    ldapsearch returned:
    dn: cn=test user,
    cn: test user

The error "unknown error with naming attribute" was not reported.
